Late composer Madan Mohan, whose music has been recreated in "Veer-Zaara", is also the inspiration behind another biggie that is expected to be released this Diwali.
"Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon" is the title of a humongous war epic starring Amitabh Bachchan with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Nagma, Kapil Sharma, Divya Khosla and Sandali Sinha.
The film is yet another attempt by Anil Sharma to recreate the magic of "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" that had catapulted Sunny Deol to mega stardom. Anil and Sunny could not do an encore with the big budget "Hero".
While Anil hopes "Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon" will turn his fortunes, Sunny is going to try his luck in a film by management guru Arindam Chaudhuri. The film by producer Planman Life hopes to launch new faces - Yash Pandit and Manjari Fadnis - who were selected after a talent hunt.
The film features Sunny in the role of a Harley Davidson rider and a completely new look. However, Sunny will have to do more than just look different given the formidable competition for his film.
Besides the biggies, there is marital drama "Musafir" starring Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Aditya Pancholi, Mahesh Manjrekar and Sameera Reddy by White Feather Films and directed by Sanjay Gupta, as well as "Aitraaz", an Abbas-Mustan film by Subhash Ghai's production house Mukta Arts Ltd., starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.
Director Priyadarshan's "Hulchul" with Akshaye Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Arbaaz Khan, Arshad Warsi and Farah and Kiran Reddy; and Ram Gopal Varma's "Naach" with Abhishek Bachchan and Antara Mali are also hoping to release at the same time.
